Idea #24: Photo booth fun
Today, we visited TIG’s extended family in Derby for Christmas Day – take 2. A visit to the Derby clan is always guaranteed to be a laugh-a-minute and today was no exception. After a fabulous 2-course meal we distributed our Secret Santa presents. We had a £10 limit and the TIG family had all decided to buy the same Christmas jumper for each of our recipients. Primark did good with their festive snowman jumpers priced at £9, and...

Today was a very sad day (despite TIG’s dad looking very excitable in the photo below!), we were leaving our luxury Scottish home, the relaxing hot tub, and my dream feature fireplace behind. It was time to go home. It wasn’t all bad, after 6 hours in the car we arrived back to a very special gift on the kitchen table that had been left by our neighbours. What made this gift so special wasn’t just the gift, it was the gift...

We enjoyed a relaxing morning of opening presents, followed by a leisurely walk in the Tay Forest Park. We left TIG’s dad in the kitchen to keep...

This is a fantastic website for kids (and big kids too) to follow Santa’s journey delivering presents around the world. However, this year was going to be slightly different, I had read articles online that we were actually going to be able to spot Santa in the night sky. The articles has stated we would...

Today, we were treated to a Winter Watch Highland Safari near Aberfeldy in Scotland. We also got the chance to get up close and personal and feed the red deer. This was an incredible day out and you can read my full review of our Highland Safaris experience here. The red deer...
